Beware of a group of men most likely a duo dressed as workmen removing antique fixtures like doors and windows or other items. The 1300 Block of Hunting Park Ave was hit 3 times. Described as 2 black men one short the other tall wearing yellow hard had and carrying a yellow level stick, which they left at one of the properties and two Latino men one very short and the other around 5' 8" and husky.

Please call the police if you suspect any suspicious activity and if you see workers removing items from a neighbors home photograph them on your cell, get license plates and call the authorities.
